So you are getting upset from the fact that I pointed out that these cards are not viable alternatives to ATI or Nvidia cards because of the ancient chipset they are based on?

hmmm not very good at this whole internet thing are you?

Even if Matrox did introduce a new chipset it still wouldn't even remotely be competive with ATI or Nvidia as Matrox haven't had a decent real gaming based chipset since the G450.

As a professional video card, Matrox cards are mildly interesting because of the advanced multi monitor support and decent high res output quality (a major selling point in 1999) but for anything else they are completely pointless and very overpriced.

which is a shame because if they introduce something competitive I would be interested, I still have my old G550 lying about somewhere and I have fond memory of it.

no stumps, the only person that fails is you.
or, when did this forum just become about ati and nvidia?
who said they were competing with them? did i? no. i said alternatives aka options. provides people more options than those two.

so sorry that i was not aware beforehand that i had to get 'stumps' approval' before posting information about video cards.

also i had no idea that if YOU were not impressed with it, then it should not be worthy information.

if you know anything about matrox you know it is not geared towards gaming.

SOME people actually need/require video cards for other things than gaming.

is this just a forum for gaming? hmm.. nope.
